Percy was sitting in music class tapping his pencil, he was finally a junior and school was back in session. He ran a hand through his hair and peeked at Annabeth's homework assignment, he was good at music but he decided it was smart to double check his answers before he handed it to Apollo. Annabeth saw him do this and kicked his shin without looking up from her work. He bit back a yelp as pain erupted in his shin, he glared at her while she smirked back cheekily. He sighed and handed his homework to Apollo.

Apollo chuckled,"You know you have a problem if you copy off a blondes homework." Percy laughed while Annabeth gave him another sharp kick to the shin and he yelped.

Annabeth glared at Apollo,"Your blonde too!" She snarled and he shrugged which made Annabeth furious.

"It's blondes like you that give us a bad name!" She grumbled. He luckily hadn't heard her and Percy chuckled quietly so Annabeth wouldn't kick him in the shin again, it was throbbing and probably badly bruised. Zoe sat behind the duo laughing at Annabeth's anger over blonde stereotypes, she and Annabeth had come to neutral terms since Annabeth no longer tried to steal her boyfriend. She was glad that Percy didn't even seem fazed by Annabeth's sorry attempts to garner his attention, it really showed how much he seemed to care for her. The bell rang and Percy stood up, he pointedly ignored Drew who still didn't seem to understand the word defeat. He threw his arm around Zoe's shoulder and walked out of the room.

"So Zoe, hm that rhymes." He mused and his ADHD seemed to overtake his train of thoughts. She rolled her eyes and gave him a soft elbow to the stomach, he looked down at her and gave her a kiss to the nose.

She smiled at him,"You were saying?" She asked him and his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

Annabeth walked beside the two and rolled her eyes at Percy, "Seaweedbrain." She grumbled making Percy mock glare at her, he stuck his tongue out at her making the girls laugh at his childish antics. Honestly Annabeth knew she should get used to seeing Zoe and Percy being together, but anytime she saw them hugging, playing around, kissing, it reminded her of what could of been. She was happy that Percy was happy but regretted being such a jerk to him.

-LUNCH-

"Hey, I liked it when the Stolls threw those tarantulas on Annabeth and Piper! It was hilarious and totally my favorite prank!" Frank enthused and Leo laughed and nodded. Annabeth and Piper glared at the Stolls who were throwing banana peels as people walked by.

Leo saw this and laughed,"I swear, banana peels are your guys signature prank." The Stolls grinned impishly at him.

"Thanks, though I'd prefer to beat Reyna with a sledge hammer." Connor growled and Reyna glared at him. The two began bickering while Travis jumped to his brothers defense, Percy and Thalia looked up from their extreme game of rock, paper, scissors to watch the verbal fight.

Percy decided to throw in his input about his favorite pranks,"I liked it when Thalia and Reyna threw the spiders down the Stolls pants." This caused the siblings, Percy and Thalia, to high five while Reyna burst out laughing. Leo winced when he remembered Connor smashing his foot with a frying pan, Travis paled when he thought of Connor hitting him with a frying pan where the sun don't shine, and Connor looked faint as he thought of the hairy arachnid going in his pants. Annabeth shivered in disgust at the thought of the giant spider crawling on her arm.

"Surely I can't be the only one who liked locking Annabeth, Piper, and Zoe in the closet." Jason mused and got a high five from Percy. Piper smacked Jason up side the head while Zoe did the same thing with Percy. Annabeth couldn't reach them so she smacked Frank upside the head.

He glare at her,"Why?" He asked.

She smiled sheepishly at him,"I couldn't reach Percy or Jason and your just so slapable!" He slumped in his seat and pouted.i

"I liked it when Percy fell in dog poop." Bianca said and Percy glared at her.

"That was my favorite shirt!" He cried and grimaced when he thought of the smelly poop on his nice shirt.

"I liked it when Percy held Zoe hostage! He went mad with power and tortured her with Sherbert ice cream!" Nico exclaimed while Jason let out a hearty laugh, Zoe smacked Percy upside the head and he glared at her.

"That ice cream was disgusting!" She yelled angrily wile throwing her hands up in the air.

Percy snorted,"Disgustingly delicious!" She gave him another smack and he yelped. He rubbed his and glared at her. She glared back and they were soon in an intense staring contest.

Hazel spoke up,"That doesn't make since Perce, disgustingly delicious?" She questioned.

Without breaking his gaze from Zoe's he answered,"It makes a ton of sense. You know what doesn't make since? Zoe hating Sherbert ice cream."

She glared at him,"That disgusting stuff can go die in a hole!"

"Leave her alone!" He defended and she raised an eyebrow.

"Oh it's a she?"

"Yep, she's just a one time thing every now and again."

"Should I be jealous?"

"Nah, she's nothin but a fling. We have a terrible relationship, it starts out so sweet until I eat her." He answered wistfully and Zoe laughed, her boyfriend was a dork but she loved him for it.

She struggled to keep a straight face,"Oh? A fling that you eat? I believe that's called domestic violence."

"Hypocrite." Grover grumbled.

Percy ignored his friend,"Actually babe, I believe that's called...oh shoot! I can't think of anything witty to say." He groaned and looked at his hands, Zoe cheered loudly.

"I win!" She laughed.

Connor smirked at Grover,"Cough it up." He grumbled angrily and handed Connor twenty dollars.

Percy stared at them wide eyed,"You guys bet on us?" Connor grinned and stuffed the money in his back pocket. The mischievous glint in his eye screamed Conman.

"We had a small wager-"

"I wouldn't call twenty dollars a small wager." Grover mumbled cutting Connor off. Connor rolled his eyes at him.

Zoe looked at Grover in disbelief,"I can't believe you bet on Percy when he was going against me."

Grover sighed,"I can't either." Percy glared at them but backed down when Zoe returned the glare.

"Is there a problem Percy?" She asked menacingly as her black eyes bored into his green ones.

He gulped,"Just admiring your beautiful, scary, attractive eyes." Zoe smiles at him and kissed his cheek. He brightened and gave her a peck on the lips. Jason was about to complain when a fork past his head, his eyes widened as Zoe toyed with a fork while eyeing him threateningly. Leo roared with laughter along with everyone else except Jason, the blonde gulped while Percy slung his arm around Zoe.

"Abusive girlfriends, gotta love em." He said and Zoe put the fork to his throat.

"I've got a hostage!" She mocked from their earlier prank wars. Thalia and the girls laughed loudly, the boys looked at Percy worried for his well being. He grabbed a spoon unknowingly and held it to her throat.

"Ha-wait what?" He asked as he looked at his spoon in disbelief. He could of grabbed a fork or a knife but life hated him.

Zoe looked at his spoon smugly,"Nice weapon, what are you gonna do feed me?" The group laughed but Percy pressed his spoon to her throat.

"This is a powerful weapon that people have nearly killed themselves to get. I mean have you seen people play spoons? That games dangerous!" He said, his friends nodded in agreement.

"Wow! You guys can be like the couple from Love the Way You Lie by Eminem and Rihanna." Piper gushed and Percy and Zoe looked at her as though she was demented. Zoe still had a fork to Percy's throat while his spoon was still at her neck.

Percy spoke up,"I would never hurt Zoe! I mean sure she abuses me, pummels me on just dance 3, hates Sherbert ice cream, destroys my dreams..." He trailed off and Zoe smacked him with the flat of her fork only proving Piper's point.

-PERCY'S HOUSE-

Percy moved the card around and kept his eyes glued to the spoons in front of him. He had mastered spoons, the secret was to not even bother to look at the card, always watch the spoon. Travis slyly grabbed a spoon and Percy snuck one as well, Connor quickly caught on and grabbed one as well. The three placed them in their laps and pretended to keep playing. Nico saw this and grabbed one along with Bianca, and Thalia. Soon only Piper and Annabeth were left as they sifted through the cards.

Annabeth started to get frustrated,"Dang it! I can't find four jacks!" She grumbled, she and Piper glanced at the last spoon at the same time before their eyes widened. They both lunged for the spoon at the same time and soon began a tug of war. Annabeth got so competitive that she dragged Piper halfway across the table, Piper held on and the two started shouting threats at each other.

"Give me the spoon McLean or your dignity won't be the only thing your gonna lose!" Annabeth spat as they continued to pull on the spoon roughly.

"Shut up Chase! The only thing bigger then your fat butt is your ego!" Piper snarled and tugged the spoon so Annabeth was now on the table. Annabeth gasped in offense to Piper's words and pulled harder.

Zoe laughed,"That was kinda funny." Travis began to record the battle while Leo and Frank placed bets. Percy and Thalia leaned on each other for support as they laughed loudly, Jason glared at them while Nico, Bianca, and Hazel were egging the brawlers on. Reyna and Connor argued on who would win. Finally Annabeth ripped the spoon from Piper and held it up triumphantly.

"Blondes rule!" She cheered loudly causing Percy and Zoe to laugh again while Piper huffed and her shoulders slumped in defeat. Annabeth and Piper still hated each other with a passion that was more intense then Connor and Reyna. Zoe's phone began to ring and she walked away to answer her phone. Percy stretched and ruffled Thalia's hair before giving Nico a nuggie and then flipping Bianca's hair randomly.

"Perce! Your not being very nice." Thalia grumbled while Bianca and Nico nodded.

Percy shrugged,"I'm the big brother of this relationship and I can do what I want!" He said teasingly before Thalia jumped on his back. He ran around the house trying to throw her off.

"Get this thing off of me!" He screamed in mock horror and flung her on the couch. She laughed and bounced once her body made impact.

Nico raised his hand,"Can I go after thunder butt?" He asked pointing at Thalia. She glared at him.

"Call me that again, I dare you." She growled.

Nico smirked and got in her face,"Thunder. Butt." He said slowly and she launched herself at him. He screamed and fell to the ground and tried to get away but Thalia held him down, Percy began to tickle him while Bianca sat there laughing.

"Payback is a Piper!" Thalia laughed as Percy continued to tickle his little brother.

Piper looked offended,"Are you implying that I'm-"

"Yep cuz you are." Annabeth answered while still playing with her war prize. Piper glared at her and Reyna laughed with Hazel, ever since the spin the bottle game Reyna had steered clear of Frank because she found him disgusting and awkward. Frank didn't seem to notice but Hazel did, she asked Reyna why and she replied that he was a really bad kisser who annoyed her. Zoe walked back into the room to see Nico pinned by Thalia and Percy, and Reyna and Connor had started another fight. Percy stopped tickling Nico and looked up at Zoe. Her eyes held mirth and happiness and she was grinning widely.

"Hey Zoe, who was it?" Percy asked before Thalia let Nico go, Nico tackled Percy and started yelling about revenge. They rolled a couple of times before Percy ended up sitting on Nico's back. Nico started to breath heavily because of Percy's weight, but Percy just rested his chin on his fist as though it was the most natural thing in the world.

Zoe chuckled,"It was my mom, she told me my sister Calypso got freed from exile today and is going to be living with us." Percy grinned and got off of Nico who began gasping for breath.

He embraced Zoe,"If you Pansies don't wanna see any kissing I suggest you look away." He told them and his friends groaned. He kissed Zoe on the lips, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back deeply. Percy felt giddy and Zoe felt like a love struck fool, once they pulled away they saw Connor and Travis watching them intently.

Percy's eyes widened,"Hit the deck!" He yelled and he and Zoe dived to the floor. A pie was launched at them but missed completely. The pie splat on the ground and the duo laughed in relief before they got up and glared at the Stolls.

"You take Travis, I take Connor?" Percy asked knowing full well that Zoe and Travis had awful experiences with each other. Zoe nodded and grinned evilly, the Stolls gulped and ran while the couple chased after them.

And what do you think? Probably not my best chapter but is is the first one. I forgot how much fun it was to write this! Son of Vesta will be updated tomorrow. Also not the longest but its only the beginning.
